Enstrophy FFM deploy

Several calculations modeling the deploy of the FFMs from the spinning main payload have been done. The problem is just complicated enough to make it hard to visualize. This movie shows a simulation of how the deploy will look. The view is looking aft along the main payload spin axis at the deployer deck.

The track shape is a log spiral with a constant angle phi between r and track normal.
r(theta) = r0*exp(1/tan(phi)*(-theta)) r0 = 15 cm phi = 83 deg tracklen = 105 deg Results for a main payload spin rate of 4Hz:
